I have used Xero, a program marketed as easy to use and found that it is overpriced, limited in capability, and has issues with some basic functions such as preparing BAS. I use Quick books for another business as it is cheap, however in doing so I lament the fact that it is very quirky and not intuitive to operate. As a program designed specifically for agriculture, Phoenix does as much as possible to reduce the time taken and to simplify the tasks.
